The passage around this formula

Collect the pieces. Three charts, the Newtonian centroid RN\mathbf R_N , the observer-dependent stress-energy centroid Xμ(u,Σ)X^\mu(u,\Sigma) , and the canonical Newton–Wigner operator XNW\mathbf X_{\mathrm{NW}} , form a genuine, well-behaved sub-atlas. Define, for any two of them evaluated on the same hypersurface Σ\Sigma ,
